NOW Quercetin with Bromelain (240 vcaps) is a synergistic formula primarily used to manage seasonal allergies, support respiratory health, and maintain a balanced immune system. This 240-count bottle provides a 120-day supply (at 2 capsules per serving) of these two complementary ingredients.
How the Combination Works
- Quercetin (800 mg per serving): A naturally occurring bioflavonoid that acts as a "free radical scavenger." It stabilizes the membranes of mast cells, which reduces the release of histamine—the chemical responsible for itchy eyes, sneezing, and runny noses.
- Bromelain (165 mg per serving): An enzyme derived from pineapple stems that supports sinus health and provides anti-inflammatory benefits. Crucially, bromelain can enhance the absorption (bioavailability) of quercetin by up to 3 times.
Primary Uses
- Natural Antihistamine: Frequently used during high-pollen seasons to reduce symptoms like congestion, sneezing, and watery eyes.
- Respiratory & Sinus Support: Helps maintain healthy sinus tissues and promotes normal lung function.
- Inflammation Management: Both ingredients have anti-inflammatory properties that can support joint comfort and overall cellular health.
- Immune Modulation: Supports a balanced immune response to environmental challenges rather than just "boosting" it.
Suggested Usage
- Recommended Dose: Typically 2 capsules taken 20 minutes before meals, twice daily.
- Sensitive Stomachs: If taken on an empty stomach causes discomfort, it can be taken with food.
- Interactions: Consult a physician if you are allergic to pineapple or are taking blood thinners or antibiotics, as both ingredients can interact with these medications.
